CAPE Town, recently crowned the best city in the world by Time Out magazine, is ready to welcome jazz lovers, music enthusiasts, and visitors from across the globe as it plays host to the 22nd edition of the Cape Town International Jazz Festival (CTIJF) on 25 and 26 April at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTCC).
Renowned as Africa’s Grandest Gathering, this iconic festival will once again showcase over 30 artists across four spectacular stages - Kippies, Moses Molelekwa, Rosies, and Manenberg - transforming the city into the heartbeat of world-class jazz, culture, and entertainment.
As the official host city, Cape Town is rolling out the red carpet for festinos, with Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis saying: “Thanks to the exceptional quality of production served up year after year - with festival programmes that include every style and genre of jazz imaginable - the Cape Town International Jazz Festival has helped cement the Mother City’s reputation as one of the great jazz cities of the world.
“This year’s programme looks sure to enhance that reputation further, once again striking that wonderful balance between legends of the jazz stage and tomorrow’s stars.
“Music lovers heading here at the end of April are in for a real treat, and we cannot wait to welcome them all to Cape Town.”
The festival begins with a free concert on April 24 at Greenmarket Square.
The all-star line-up includes an extraordinary collaboration between global icon Black Coffee and visionary jazz pianist Nduduzo Makhathini..
